every single poodle I have ever met has been a very snappy dog, mainly standerd poodles. one poodle took a huge chunck out of a border collie at a flyball tourny, no reason at all just turned around took a chunk out of the dog I am not saying all poodles are like that, but a majority are very snappy. people have had VERY nice poodles, etc.. but thses poodles in flyball are VERY well socalized these are dogs that have been around other dogs there whole life, right from as soon as they could leave there house, they have been going to flyball tournys for socalization.
